Regarding recently circulated online misinformation such as Alibaba’s “Qianwen model core team collectively resigning” and “changes to its open-source strategy,” Alibaba Group stated that the Qianwen model team is currently stable and there has been no situation of “collective resignations,” and that all products and services are operating normally. Qianwen will continue to adhere to its open-source strategy. The foundation model team has never been assigned commercial KPIs such as DAU. The goal of Qwen large-scale models is to continuously pursue the highest possible level of model intelligence and achieve AGI. Alibaba sincerely welcomes top AI talent from around the world to join in, building world-class large-model technology and an open-source ecosystem together. Alibaba will continue to increase investment and provide solid support for the Qianwen team. (36Kr)
